15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 bulbs fresh fennel, thinly sliced
  • 350 g baby marrow, sliced lengthways
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 ripe avocados, quartered
  • 4 calamari steaks, scored and sliced into strips lengthways
  • 1 chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 T cranberry-infused balsamic reduction, for drizzling
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

In a pan, over a medium-high heat, fry the fennel and baby marrow in half of the olive oil, until lightly charred.
Divide among 4 plates then add the avocado.
Using another pan over a high heat, sear the calamari strips with the chilli in the remaining olive oil.
Top each salad with the warm calamari strips then drizzle over the cranberry-infused balsamic reduction and extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and a crack of black pepper.
